SKU: 881-5

A popular sturdy and dwarf variety with red foliage.
Acer palmatum, commonly known as Japanese maple, palmate maple, or smooth Japanese maple, is a species of woody plant native to Japan, Korea, China, eastern Mongolia, and southeast Russia. This cultivar has red foliage.
These plants are sometimes used for bonsai, though they can be grown as a regular full-sized tree.
Height: 3-6', 90-180cm
Hardiness zones: 5-9
Location: Sun or shade. In southern/warm climates it does well with mid-day
Note: Ornamental use only. These seeds and/or plants may be poisonous.
Germination: Start these seeds indoors right away for best germination rates. Sow the seeds just under the surface of a sterile seed-start mix, and water in. First keep them at room temperature for 4 months. This helps break the phytohormones which inhibit germination. Then cover them with plastic to retain moisture, and then place in a fridge for 4 months. Be sure they stay lightly moist. Then bring them to approximately 21°C, 70°F for germination.
